Knowledge innovation in science and technology cannot be separated from the promotion of the element of tools. New tools will lead and bring scientific discoveries and technological advancements. The development of traditional Chinese medicine（ TCM） for thousands of years has been due to the lack of "new tools"that can incite TCM theories. With the development of TCM history

the original body tools need to be replaced with new tools for materialization. Considering the mental arithmetic process of syndrome differentiation and treatment

in the context of elucidating the relationship between its intrinsic logic path and technical network

it is possible to use intelligent computing technology to establish an intelligent calculation system for syndrome differentiation. The specific R&D path includes the qualitative and semi-quantitative information of four diagnosis

the structural data of TCM syndromes

the corresponding network of prescriptions

herbs

syndromes-symptoms-diseases

and the theoretical calculations of the number of information in syndrome differentiation units. The new materialized tools are used to assist or partially replace the mental calculation and body tool

which is expected to become an important technical force for the future development of TCM.
